 * Hi all,
 * First of all, great plug-in. It works almost perfectly for me, very flexible.
   
   Only one thing I noticed is not quite right, which is the thumbnail image (featured
   image) doesnt update itself on the widget, like every time I change the featured
   image, it isnt changed on the widget relatively, it just stays the “first image”
   i put for the featured.
 * Just wanted to let you all know or if you guys can fix that would be awesome!
 * Cheers!

 * I found how to manually do this:
 * Go to: wp-content/plugins/special-recent-posts/cache/
 * Here you will find the thumbnails the plugin uses. They will be named something
   like: `srpthumb-p117-100x100-no.jpg`. Just delete the one(s) that are wrong, 
   the next time you reload the page, they will be regenerated 😀
